I become a crazy woman when I have sick kids. Like you don't want to be anywhere near me. I don't know why I can't be calm and clear minded and just grateful it isn't something more serious. Seth has croup again. Seems it was two weeks on, one week off for six whole months. He got sick in October of last year and the croup just kept coming back. Several doctor appointments, several doses of steroid, several prescriptions for antibiotic to kill the ear infections, one failed hearing test, and MANY sleepless nights. The last couple of times we just decided to wait it out because we were worried about medicating him too much.
WELL, we were sitting at the dinner table last week, delighting in the fact that it had been almost four whole weeks without a bout of croup. Brent chalked it up to the fine drizzle in the Seattle air and declared the relocation a convenient cure. I said to Brent, and I quote myself: "You'd better not jinx it." Not five days later and we're dealing with full blown croup. Constant coughing, chest retractions, and miserable miserable nights. So today I am crazy. And this little guy, well, he's just sad. And very very cute.

Poor Sethy! Adorable though. Maybe he needs a nebulizer (breathing treatment like in the pic on my blog) or an inhaler like Emma. She coughs all the time, especially at night. Yeah, it makes moms crazy. At least she's older and not so many yucky symptoms. Apparently Steeds have breathing issues - Gina
How Seth is feeling better, if it is really croup and not asthma, the weather there should actually help, but if it is asthma Jameson is on to your solution!
